Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus are all current leading indie-rock artists, each with harrowing, emotional and powerful sounds. They've crossed paths while touring over the last couple of years. After connecting, they continued to keep in touch through all of their separate success. Most recently, they put out a new collaborative project entitled “boygenius.” In which they created a six-song self titled EP before starting their tour on Nov. 4, 2018.

Right now three singles off of their six-song self-titled EP is available to stream. The full EP will drop on the official release, Nov. 9 on Matador Records. One of the songs I’m most excited to hear that has yet to be released is called ““Ketchum, ID”. The three songwriters created this song together off of an idea Bridgers brought to the table, the idea of disappearing in Idaho.

Bridgers told Pitchfork, “I wrote that song around a guitar lick my friend Christian Lee Hutson sent me, while I was staring out the window on tour in Idaho. Julien and Lucy had pre-existing ideas about being trapped on tour and fantasizing about disappearing in Idaho. We’re strangely all on the same page."

“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” ages with grace in season 13

Anthony Martinez, Deputy Arts & Culture Editor

Few shows have succeeded in becoming as lasting and influential as “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” a simple sitcom with lasting impact that premiered in 2005 with a simple premise — four delinquent friends fumbling through life as “The Gang,” co-owners of Paddy’s Pub and lovable parasites known to devise bizarre, often terrible ideas to scam and steal from others.

FX Network’s underdog comedy quickly found a strong following among fans, celebrating the show for its sharp writing and dark brand of comedy. Starting in its second season, Danny DeVito joins the gang as Frank Reynolds, father to twins Dennis (Glenn Howerton) and Dee (Kaitlin Olson). The next decade of classic episodes feature the gang willing to do practically anything for money, summed up on the show’s Wikipedia page in a list featuring “attempted cannibalism, kidnapping, grave-robbing and seducing a priest.”

The show has always made good use of its characters’ extreme personalities, and in season 13, “It’s Always Sunny” is having fun pushing familiar characters into new challenges and situations. Episodes feature the gang inciting political outrage to bring business to their pub, addressing transgender issues and becoming the subjects of sexual misconduct allegations — topics taken seriously by building up and tearing down these everyday sociopaths and creating absurd comedy out of the gang’s lack of self-awareness.

The show’s future seemed uncertain before the announcement of seasons 13 and 14 as co-creator Glenn Howerton delayed his return. This runtime ties the series for the longest running live-action comedy on television, proving that the gang still has much to learn.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Chris Wilkinson, Staff Writer

For over 30 years, "JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure" has been one of the most popular and longest running manga series in Japan. In addition, it is also the only manga that has been featured in the Louvre Museum, likely for its incredible detail and use of color that changes from panel to panel. It also recently overrun the high-fashion shopping center Lumine in Tokyo. Because of this, the series was near impossible to adapt until the beginning of its anime adaptation starting in 2012 and has since started its fifth part after a two-year hiatus.

The series tells the story of the Joestar family, with each part being about a different member of the family with the nickname “JoJo.” It started off in 1890's England before moving around to 1980's Japan and eventually early 2000's Italy. Each part is completely different from the last, with new settings, characters and even genres that are tackled.

The new season follows the story of Giorno Giovanna as he strives to take over the mafia that runs the streets of Naples. Three episodes have premiered so far, and each continue the trend of great animation, memorable sound effects and creative psychic battles that the series as a whole is known for. The series releases a new episode every Friday with subtitles on VRV and Crunchyroll.

Mrs. T's Pierogies

Zachary Bethel, Arts & Culture Editor

The frozen aisle. It's a college student's best friend. However, the great span of freezers is home to one of college kid's best unsung food secrets: Mrs.T's Pierogies.

Piergoies are essentially little potato dumplings with various foods mixed within. Though many love ramen as it is both cheap, filling and a solid go-to buy, pierogies offer a nice change to your regular weeknight frozen dinner. And the best part? They are quick to make.

Grab a skillet, throw on some olive oil, place the pierogies and you're good to eat within minutes. Though pierogies are great alongside vegetables and the like, Mrs. T's offers a range of flavors. With roughly 14 different flavors to choose from, the packaging comes in a variety of sizes, from the regular boxes of 12 to the 2 lb. "Plenty Packs."

Broccoli and Aged Cheddar, Four Cheese Medley and Classic Onion to name a few, are some of the flavors Mrs. T's produces. You can even center some recipes around them, such as slow cooker pierogi lasagna or stack them on a kabob with other cooked veggies. What's not to love about little pockets of potato?
